Laphroaig Cask Strength and Ardbeg 10yr gift pack. Got the last bottle on the shelf of Laphroaig CS, no longer available in this state. Don't know if true but someone mentioned that CS is going away because of demand.

Was running errands and saw a little liquor store a few doors down from the place I was visiting. Figured i would take a peek and found a bottle of Ardbeg Alligator just sitting on the shelf all by itself. It was a good day!

Picked up a bottle of the Yamazaki 18yo today as it seemed to be a decent price. It may well have been from an early shipment (a wee bit dusty) with the older price still in place. Yamazaki seemed to have gotten hard to find for awhile but now is back although at a generally much higher price locally. I have had the 12 in the past and liked it so decided to give the 18 a try.

Knoppogue Castle 12 yr 1994 vintage ... from what I could gather online, distilled by Bushmills. Drier and with a slightly longer and more bitter finish than the Bushmill's 10; with a drop a water it is quite fruity.

Picked up a Talisker Distillers Edition TD-S: 50A as I continue to look for alternatives to the 18. If it is decent at little more than half the price that will be a positive. Past tastings of prior DE's suggest it tends to be sweeter thanks to the increased sherry influence which isn't likely to bother me!
